Remember Kennedy during the Ashcroft hearings. He stated that he was afraid tht because Ashcroft was religious he wouldn't be able to perform his job as Attorney General.

Every dem senator went after Ashcroft's religious beliefs.

SICKENING

AND ILLEGAL!! Please--hoist the Dems on their own petards on this one!

Please correct me if I'm wrong--but I have not heard ONE commentator discuss the Title 7 implications of citing religious or moral beliefs (creeds) as basis for denying confirmation of a candidate for the Supreme Court. I think it would be a great way to to bitch-slap the Dems with the "crushing hand of the LAW"!!

And the left stayed on Ashcroft's religious beliefs the whole time he was in office.

Remember Kennedy during the Ashcroft hearings. He stated that he was afraid tht because Ashcroft was religious he wouldn't be able to perform his job as Attorney General.

In 1960 some people said the same thing about his brother Jack -- implying that a Roman Catholic President would be controlled by the Pope!

I'm no fan of any of the Kennedys, but I think Jack would be horrified by much of what comes out of Ted's mouth.

I remember those hearings very clearly. What a witch hunt. ASHCROFT HEARING-LAST DAY- THREAD 7 on FR

I found it hard to believe that in America (of all countries!) a man was being subjected to a religious test before getting a job he was well qualified for.

The Democrats really showed what they were made of during those hearings.

The Dems couldn't even follow the ordinary rules of courtesy. It was sometimes hard to hear the testimony being given by witnesses, because Schumer and Feinstein were "whispering" to each other too loudly.
